on all things automotive. Just that living and working where I do and doing what I do lends itself to a lot of conversation with car guys and dealer customers and friends, and hearing stuff that the rest of the country might here later. Around here, when the Big 3 does well, I do well, and work goes well, and house values remain steady, and people work and eat and pay their bills. So my anti Japanese carmaker stance isn't just based on the fact that I hate foreign cars, my existance depends on people buying "American". So I am biased, naturally, just like a guy living in Idaho would feel if people started buying imported potatoes. This toyota deal with the gas pedals won't solve any long term Big 3 ailments, but this area will get a boost for a while. I just wish it was based on people buying American for the right reasons, and not as a result of a toyota mess that's getting worse. But, selfishly, I'll take what I can get.
